2 Interpretations of Genesis Literal/fundamentalist view Mythological view Which do you think is a more useful view? Why? The Theory of Evolution Charles Darwin: Explain the theory Evidence for Evolution Species tend to survive in the environment in which they live, regardless of living conditions. Certain species have died out suggesting they were not suitable for survival. Natural selection is the idea that mutations make life forms better suited to their environment. DNA analysis suggests that all life on earth shares certain features. Scientists have proven that humans have a common ancestry with apes. Fossil records show animals with a simpler structure further back in time and more complex structures later. Which is the strongest piece of evidence? Explain your choice.

Your score: /4 Abortion and UK Law - In 1967 abortions became legal in the UK. Previous to 1967 women were not allowed to have an abortion. Dangerous backstreet abortions (illegal abortions carried out by untrained people) were often carried out. Under UK law, an abortion can usually only be carried out during the first 24 weeks of pregnancy as long as certain criteria are met (see below). The Abortion Act 1967 covers England, Scotland and Wales but not Northern Ireland, and states: abortions must be carried out in a hospital or a specialist licensed clinic two doctors must agree that an abortion would cause less damage to a woman's physical or mental health than continuing with the pregnancy There are also a number of rarer situations when the law states an abortion may be carried out after 24 weeks. These include: if it's necessary to save the woman's life to prevent grave permanent injury to the physical or mental health of the pregnant woman if there is substantial risk that the child would be born with serious physical or mental disabilities Generally, an abortion should be carried out as early in the pregnancy as possible, usually before 12 weeks and ideally before 9 weeks where possible.
